VERON is the Dutch IARU society.\n\nIt is \"untrue\" that the Dutch administration is thinking about\nD-Star repeaters operating in the 437-438 MHz band.\n\nPresently, the amateur service in the Netherlands and neighbouring \ncountries suffers from harmful interference, caused by what can be \nseen as a regrettable implementation of the Radiolocation service in \nthe 438-440 MHz band.\n\nFor that reason, usage of D-Star repeaters with output frequencies in \nthe upper 2 MHz part of the Region 1 70cm band, is hampered.\n\nTo solve this problem, recently the Dutch D-Star community came up \nwith a proposal to plan the output frequencies of D-Star repeaters \njust below 438MHz and has asked VERON to support this proposal.\n\nVERON has decided not to do so, due to incompatibility between the \namateur service and amateur-satellite service. Moreover, the proposal \ndeviates significantly from the IARU-R1 band plan.\n\nIn the meantime VERON has made an alternative proposition to amend \nthe Dutch national frequency plan in such a way, that it fully \ncomplies with article 5 RR, the European Common Allocation table, as \nwell as the IARU-R1 band plan.\n\nThank you Bram, for this clarification.\n\nGaston Bertels - ON4WF\nIARU Region 1 ARSPEX WG chairman\n\n[ANS thanks Gaston, ON4WF for the above information]\n\n/EX\n\n\nSB SAT @ AMSAT $ANS-263.04\nSatellite Shorts From All Over\n\nAMSAT News Service Bulletin 263.04\n  From AMSAT HQ SILVER SPRING, MD.\nSeptember 20, 2009\nTo All RADIO AMATEURS\nBID: $ANS-263.04\n\nItem A:\nA group of new volunteers are investigating alternative \nmethods for adding content to the AMSAT web site.\nI have my own list, but I would like to hear from people \nthat have suggestions on what pages should be addressed \nfirst and any new content that they would find helpful. \nSend these to Gould  wa4sxm at amsat.org\n\n\nItem B:\nThe 2009 AMSAT Symposium is rapidly approaching!

Telebridge \nstation ON4ISS in Belgium will facilitate the contact. For twenty \nyears, Liberty's sixth grade students have actively participated as \n\"astronauts in training\" as they completed an eight week training \ncourse that culminated with a flight in the school's space station, \nAlpha-Z 2000. Computers, with software written by a local parent, \nlinked the students to Mission Control with voice communication and \nsecurity cameras allowed teachers to observe how the astronauts were \nprogressing on their mission. One of the school's space station \nmodules has been named in honor of Mike Barratt, who attended Camas \nPublic Schools.  The ARISS contact will be integrated into these \nactivities.\n\nEuro Space Center (ESC) in Transinne, Belgium contacted \nAmateur Radio on the International Space Station (ARISS)  on \nWednesday, September 16 at 07:12 UTC via telebridge station W6SRJ in \nCalifornia. ESC is recognized by the educational ministries.  \nIt is both a Space Expo open to the public and a Space Camp. \nThe Space Camp provides children with space training and is \noperational year round. \n\nAn Amateur Radio on the International Space Station (ARISS) \ncontact was held for Delta Researchers Schools, Dutch \nMinistry of Education on Friday, September 18 at 15:55 UTC via \ntelebridge station VK4KHZ in Australia. This is an ESA event \nfrom Space Expo, Noordwijk, the Netherlands.  \n\nAn Amateur Radio on the International Space Station (ARISS) \ncontact has been scheduled for Vrij Technisch Instituut Sint-Lucas \nin Oudenaarde, Oost - Vlaanderen, Belgium on Tuesday, September \n22 at 13:47 UTC. Students have learned about Earth rotation, \norbit speed, time zones, satellites, weather forecasts and \ngeostationary versus polar satellites. The antennas which \nwill be used for the contact as well as a UPS device have \nbeen constructed by the students themselves.\n\nAn Amateur Radio on the International Space Station (ARISS) \ncontact has been scheduled for the HMS Beagle Project in \nParati, Brazil on Tuesday, September 22 at 18:20 UTC via \nground station K6DUE in Maryland, USA. The project (which \naims to rebuild the ship that carried Darwin around the world) \nand NASA have signed an International Space Act Agreement, \nwith Mike Barratt as the initiator and main connection on the \nNASA side of the project. The project will unite ISS astronaut \nphotography with ocean surface water and other biological and \nphysical samples taken by the crew of the new Beagle.\n\nAn Amateur Radio on the International Space Station (ARISS) \ncontact has been scheduled for Cedarview Middle School in \nOttawa, Ontario, Canada on Thursday, September 24 at 19:07 UTC. \nStudents have learned about the ISS through videos, the \ninternet and guest speakers.\n\nAn Amateur Radio on the International Space Station (ARISS) \ncontact has been scheduled for Garfield Elementary School in \nBoise, Idaho on Thursday, September 24 at 20:34 UTC via \ntelebridge station W6SRJ in California. Students will visit \nthe NASA Exploration Experience traveling exhibit on display \nat the Idaho Historical Museum and will learn about space \nexploration and its benefits.\n\nAn Amateur Radio on the International Space Station (ARISS) \ncontact has been scheduled for Houya Elementary School in \nNishitokyo, Japan on Saturday, September 26 at 09:28 UTC. \nStudents have learned about amateur radio, space science and \nthe global cooperation involved with running the ISS.\n\n2.\tARISS Contact with Atheneum Students Successful\n\nOn Thursday, September 10, students attending Atheneum \nMiddenschool Keerbergen in Keerbergen, Belgium experienced  \nAmateur Radio on the International Space Station (ARISS) contact \nwith Frank De Winne, ON1DWN on the ISS. Telebridge station \nW6SRJ in California provided the connection. An audience of \napproximately 30 people observed the students as their twenty \nquestions were answered.  \n\n3.\tDe Winne Particpates in ARISS Contact During UNICEF Event\n\nAn Amateur Radio on the International Space Station (ARISS) \ncontact took place between UNICEF Belgium at the Euro Space \nCenter in Transinne, Belgium and Frank De Winne, ON1DWN, \nUNICEF's goodwill ambassador.  The contact occurred on Thursday, \nSeptember 10 via station LU1CGB in Argentina. UNICEF Belgium is \nrunning a campaign called WaSH (Water, Sanitation, Hygiene) to \nmake students aware of how important water is for humans. Some \nof the students participating in the campaign were given the \nopportunity to travel to the center to speak with the Expedition \n20 astronaut.  Eighteen questions were answered. \n\n4.\tARISS Contact with Tokyo Denki University\n\nOn Saturday, September 12, an Amateur Radio on the International \nSpace Station (ARISS) contact was held between students attending \nTokyo Denki University High/Junior High School in Koganei, Tokyo, \nJapan and Michael Barratt, KD5MIJ on the ISS. Thirty people \ngathered and listened as eighteen questions were asked and \nanswered.  The school has a radio club and recruits new members \neach year.  Students study for their licenses, learn how to make \nradio contacts and learn about space and the ISS.\n\n5.\tAstronaut Training Status\n\nAstronauts Timothy Creamer, KC5WKI and Soichi Noguchi, KD5TVP \nparticipated in Amateur Radio on the International Space Station \n(ARISS) training sessions on Wednesday, September 9. They spoke \nwith children from the Ralph McCall School in Airdrie, Alberta, \nCanada. The training sessions were terrestrial-based amateur \nradio contacts using ARISS equivalent equipment. Audio was \navailable on the Internet Radio Linking Project (IRLP).\n\n6.AMSAT Symposium, ARISS Ops Meeting to be Held in October \n\nThe Radio Amateur Satellite Corporation (AMSAT) Symposium will \nbe held on Friday, October 9 through Sunday, October 11 at the \nFour Points Sheraton Hotel at the Baltimore Washington Airport \nin Maryland.  An Amateur Radio on the International Space Station \n(ARISS) presentation will be given and a demo of ARISSat-1 is \nplanned.
